<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Many thanks for this info. Looks like a great opportunity to also plan joint Newton and other bids building on this. It will be good opportunity for UK labs, University of Pretoria and National Authority for Remote
Sensing & Space Sciences, Egypt to put a joint bid for this. .</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Any UK colleagues interested to join please inform us. It will be good if there are two or more UK universities involved.</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">I will speak with my colleagues at Nottingham (HealthGIS and AgriGIS are areas we have expertise) and let you know if we are able to contribute (the 28th Sep deadline is bit tight for us as we are already stretched
in commitments to various other bids).</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><br>
